AK jams in firefight ~

[acaligunner]

A British fighter has his ak go down during a firefight, lucky for him he knows how to clear the broken shell that became stuck in the chamber.

My brother was in in a close firefight with a NVA soldier in Viet Nam, when the NVA's AK jammed - it cost the NVA soldier his life.

So, AK's can jam, as well as any other weapon used in SD / Combat; You should take the time to know how to deal with a primary going down, I know I'll start to think about it.

yup- anything with parts can break... the AK is 1940's machining and technology....

Why did these guys have captured / unknown AKs? Who checked the headspace? etc?

Jam= breakage
stoppage/ malfunction= clear with your hands

I just saw a Norwegian dude with a budget Vortex Strike Eagle out there.

Any weapon can jam given enough dirt/gunk. Add crappy old ammo, and yes it happens.

I've seen AK47s dug up from the ground, hidden by South African poachers years ago, that could still fire after a little bit of motor oil was poured into the chamber and on the bolt.

Left to their own device, you'd be surprised what US Army dudes put on their own rifles. Tapco and NCStar out the wazoo.

But, but, but...everyone on CalGuns says that AKs are the most reliable rifles the universe has ever known. I'm so surprised.

[glock_this]

I thought AK's were the carps of centerfire rifles?

TAP, RACK, BANG!

The youtube comments are pure gold!

"Seems like the wrong ammo? A bad primer or something?"

That guy handled it like a boss!
